"He will be better in moment"
"But only for moment. Will nothing i'll
duce you to change your mind"
Asif in reply sudden gust of wind brought
vclley of rain against the window.
"That will" said the stranger bitterly.
"The rain!'
"a mile from here it is snow; and before
we could reach the Summit with these horses
the road would be impossible"
He made slight gesture to himself, as if
accepting an inevitable defeat, and turned to
his companion, who was slowly reviving
under the active ministration of the two
women. The wounded man looked around
with weak smile. "This is one way of
going off," he said family, "but I could do
this sort of thing as we'll on the road"
"You can do nothing now," said his friend,
decidedly. "Bcfore We get to the Gate the
road will be impossible for our horses"
"For any horses!" asked Kate.
"For ally horses For any man or beast, I
might say. Where we cannot get out no one
can get in," lie added, as if answering her
thoughts. II am afraid that you won't see
your brother tomorrow morning. But III
reconnoitcr, as can do so without torturing
him." he said, looking anxiously at the help
less man; hes got about his share of pain, I
reckon, and the first thing is to get him
easier" 1t was the longest speech he had
made to her: it was the first time he had
fairly looked her in the face. His shy rest
lessness had suddenly given way to dogged
resignation, less abstracted, but scarcely more
fattering to his entertainers. Lifting his
companion gently i'll his arms, rs il he had
been q child, he reascended the staircase,
Mrs Scott and the hastily summoned Molly
following with overflowing solicitude. AS
soon as they were alone i'll the parlor Mrs.
Hale turned to her sister: "Only that our
guests seemed to be as anxious to so now as you
were to pack them off l should have been
shocked at your inhospitality. What has
come over you, Kate! These are the very
people you have reproached ME so often with
not being civil enough to-"
But who are they2'
"How do knows There is your brothers
letter"
She usually spoke of her husband rs John"
This slight shifting of relationship and re-
sponsibility to the feminine mind was signif-
cant. Kate was little frightened and re-
morseful.
Il only meant you don't even know their
Names"
"That wasn't necessary for giving them a
bed and bandages. DO you suppose the good
Samaritan ever asked the wounded Jews
name. and that the Levitc did not excuse
himself because the thieves had taken the
poor mans card case. Do the directions In
case of accident in your ambulance rules,
read: First lay the sufferer OH bis buck and
inquire his name and family connections!
Besides, you can call one Ned and the other
George if you like"
"Oh, you know what l mean" said Kate,
irrelevantly. (Which is George"
George is the wounded man." said Mrs.
Hale; mot the one who talked to you more
than he did to any one else. suppose the
poor man was frightened and read dismissal
i'll your eyes"
II wish John were here
II don't think we have anything to fear i'll
his absence from neil whose only wish is to
get away from us. If it s'a question of pro-
pricty, my dear Kate, surely there is the
presence of mother to prevent any scandal
although really her own conduct with the
wounded one is not above SUSPICION" she
